...Beethoven", writes Mr. Hale, "was profoundly impressed by Hindu and Egyptian religious thought." and in the Symphony program he quotes at some length passages which Beethoven transcribed from Hindu literature and from Egyptian temples and tombs.

...than-six-foot 200-pounder stood upon the stage of the Four Cohans' Theatre in Chicago last week. His paunch heaved like a vexed hippo's, his ham of a hand smote the air, his flabby face howled. Technically, he was no vaudeville actor; he was William Hale Thompson, candidate for Mayor of Chicago. Yelled he: "I wanta make the King of England keep his blasted snoot out of America. . . .
